2 Claims. (Cl. 2-469) My invention relates to gloves and particularly to improvements in the type of glove or glove blank described and claimed in my Patent No. 2,552,258 which discloses a glove formed throughout of a single integral blank of flexible material. Fabric gloves formed from such blanks are very satisfactory because a fabric is uniform throughout. On the other hand, skins from which many gloves are made are not uniform throughout and, since all of the leather in a glove must be of the same uniform quality or character, it is often impossible to use such a large blank in forming a glove from a skin.

The principal object of my invention is to provide a glove which is formed from three separate parts or blanks so that, in order to secure uniformity the parts may be cut from separate skins. A further object is to provide a glove of this type in which the necessary stitching is reduced to a minimum.

I accomplish these objects by the blanks and the glove illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which- Figs. 1, 2 and 3 are the separate blanks from which the glove is formed;

.Fig. 4 is a palm view of the glove;

Fig. is a back view;

Fig. 6 is a section of Fig. 3 in the plane 66; and

Fig. 7 is a section of Fig. 4 in the plane 7-7.

Referring to Fig. 1, the part 1 forms a portion of the thumb of the glove; the parts 2 form a complete covering for the forefinger of the glove; part 3 forms a covering for the back of the second finger; part 4 is a covering for the back of the third finger; the parts 5 form a complete covering for the little finger and the part 6 forms the covering for the back of the glove, and a minor portion of the palm of the glove.

Referring to Fig. 2, the portion 7 forms a covering for 2,860,347 Patented Nov. 18, 1958 the front and sides of the third finger and the part 8 a minor portion of the palm of the glove.

Referring now to Fig. 3, the portion 9 forms the balance of the covering for the thumb; the part 10 the covering for the front and sides of the second finger and the portion 11 forms a substantial portion of the palm of the glove.

Bearing in mind that the portions shown in Figs. 2 and 3 are folded counterclockwise over the portion shown in Fig. 1, the broken lines in Figs. 1, 2 and 3 indicate the lines of stitches when the portions are assembled in glove formation. The lines of stitches which are together in glove formation are indicated by the same letter.

What I claim is:

l. A glove formed of three, separate pieces of material; the first of said pieces forming complete coverings for the forefinger and little finger, coverings for the back of the second and third fingers, a covering for a portion of the thumb, and the major portion of the covering for the back of the hand of a wearer; the second piece forming a covering for the front and sides of the third finger and a minor portion of the covering for the palm of the hand; and the third piece forming the covering for the front and sides of the second finger, the balance of the covering for the thumb, and a substantial portion of the covering for the palm of the hand.

2. A glove formed of three, separate pieces of material; the first of said pieces forming complete coverings for the forefinger and little finger, coverings for the back of the second and third fingers, a covering for a portion of the thumb, and the major portion of the covering for the back of the hand of a wearer; the second piece forming a covering for the front and sides of the third finger and a minor portion of the covering for the palm of the hand; and the third piece forming the covering for the front and sides of the second finger, the balance of the covering for the thumb, and a substantial portion of the covering for the palm of the secured together by stitches, and having two laterally spaced lines thereof extending from the base of the third finger on the palm side of said glove to the top of said glove, and a third line extending from the base of the thumb to the top of said glove.
